These look great Casey! The subtle shifts between the composition can make a big difference in the way we interpret the “energy” of the drawing. Your subjective and objective line use is also very nice. I am glad to see the exercises are carrying over into your other drawings.
You mostly drew the whole still life here. You can also use your viewfinder to also “crop” the still life, and focus on specific sections. What would it look like if you zoomed in on a specific moment? Or repositioned yourself to view the still life from a different position? The viewfinder lets you imagine that.
The thumbnail sketch is also a great tool to have in your back pocket as you plan out your other drawings this semester, or in the future. You can always set up a grid in your sketchbook and plan out different compositions until you land on one that feels right! Feel free to also rearrange your still life in conjunction with utilizing the viewfinder. Sometimes you have to play with what you are looking at until you find the arrangement that speaks to you!
